The Choices: Either Is Disaster


donnie has announced that he's going to blow up Iran at 20H00 Eastern.

If he really does that, we have some good news: two Ash Wednesdays in the same calendar year.

The bad news: if he doesn't, donnie will be on the 'net all night raving and ranting, farting and moaning, and what little is left of America's prestige and credibility will be drowned out in those hours by the world-wide barrage of snickers, guffaws and belly laughs.

And the plaques on all the golden statues will have to be changed from "donnie the decimator" to "donnie the damn fool wanna be".

And either way, the moment he said that he's going to blow up Iran, he crossed into war‑crime territory.

And either way, the United States is a criminal, or a buffoon, or both.

Making the announcement with the Easter Bunny does I nice job of suggesting that.

But the really interesting thing is going to be, given that war crimes thing, will the military heed the recent video released by a group of six Democratic lawmakers with military and national‑security backgrounds in which those lawmakers emphasized the long‑established principle of military law: troops can and must refuse unlawful orders?

If no intervention, preferably by Congress, is taken prior to 20H00, we will know the truth.

America died just short of 250.

I'm guessing that truth will prevail.
